Hi, All.
Now, that I could get a 2.4 kernel compiled for my quite old
PowerMac 9500/180MP, I would like to get SMP working. This
machine is quite slow for a lot of tasks, including rendering
web pages. So, getting the second CPU working would actually
be a great boost of speed.
I have compiled a SMP kernel, but these are the messages that
I receive when the kernel is booting:
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
(...)
PowerMac motherboard: PowerMac 9500/9600
(...)
Entering SMP Mode...
Processor 1 is stuck.
(...)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
After this, /proc/cpuinfo only shows information about the
first CPU.
So, is this a known bug? Would the cause of this problem be
that I am booting with BootX? Should I send more information
to linux-kernel? Which information would be necessary?
I think that I'm falling in love with the PowerPC architecture
and if I get a bit more of speed, I'd love to help compiling
packages from the Debian repository or to help with anything
that I can to make Debian better.
Thanks in advance for any information, Roger...
P.S.: I'm attaching the complete dmesg output to give context to the
excerpts above.
